Dental camps

Nepal has the least number of doctors per capita of any country. The government has prioritised healthcare and is making great progress. However there remain areas of the country where reaching medical and dental care can take days or where people simply cant afford the help available.

Vajra Varahi Healthcare works with partners from Malaysia and Singapore to host free dental camps every year. Since 2007 we have been to parts of the Kathmandu valley, Lumbhini, Shabruk Beshe in Langtang, Daulghiri district below the Annapurna range, Nubri, and villages beyond Pokhara, treating up to a thousand patients each time.

In October 2013 we headed for Ilam in Eastern Nepal and Sikkim in India. Five dentists treated 1300 people during the seven days of camp. They were supported by local volunteers – interpreting, organising, cooking, controlling crowds and holding the heads and hands of patients.

We depend on donations and grants to run our clinics, health camps, and programs. Your tax-deductable donation will make it possible for us to continue to serve the healthcare needs of small communities in Nepal.
